Summary: I Spy... A CAREER-ADVANCING BLOCKBUSTER!
Review: Not since "The Brady Bunch Movie" and "DR1" has a big-screen comedy based on previously presented material been so sure to become a huge, huge blockbuster, in spite of what RottenTomatoes.com would have you believe. (And please don't listen to the so-called "word of mouth.") "I Spy" is so hilarious and action-packed from start to finish that its extremely versatile director Betty Thomas - who was a member of the legendary Second City comedy troupe, although critics don't often tell you that, whereas they'll mention "Troop Beverly Hills" at the drop of a hat - is sure NOT to be assigned another remake of an old TV show as her next film, especially not, say, "Hart to Hart" or "Quincy, M.E.," please.

Summary: Crap.
Review: I wish I could rate this movie 0 stars, because it was a total bomb. Eddie Murphy didn't even seem to be acting. Pluto Nash was 10x the movie that this was, and that was also a total waste of my time also. This movie would have best been left on the cutting room floor. Now don't get me wrong, and think I don't like Eddie Murphy. I have enjoyed his comedy ever since I saw "Beverly Hills Cop". It's just that this movie falls dead at the starting line. I never like what critics say about most movies, but the were right on with this one. I beg and plead with you one and all, just say "NO" to this movie.

Summary: Funny and entertaining.
Review: A very light action/comedy movie which everyone could enjoy. This is not the best comedy movie, but it sure is very light and entertaining overall. If you like those light comic spy movies which contains some action, this one is probably one of the best there is. Rent it and watch it. You'll see what I'm talkin' about.

Summary: Comical, Entertaining & Yummy (Owen Wilson)! ^^
Review: I first saw this movie showing over cable TV some months ago, and it got me hooked for its greatly entertaining stuff. Now, I am a sucker for comedies, and I’ve never watched the 60’s TV series so I can’t say much in this aspect, but not watching the TV series has perhaps allowed me to write this review without prejudice or comparison. :)
The movie? Fumbling secret agent, Alexandra Scott (Owen Wilson), is sent on a secret mission to retrieved an important jet plane, called the Switchblade, which is about to be sold by the villain, Arnold Gundars (Malcolm McDowell) to the highest terrorist bidder. To steal back the plane and prevent it from being used against the US, Alex is paired up with famous boxer Kelly Robinson (Eddie Murphy), but unfortunately, they didn’t really get along and it’s not long before Alex and Kelly messed up and got implicated in a mad rush of escapes.
Granted, this is not any James Bond stuff, but it is hilarious in a sense and you can laugh at their general silliness. Owen Wilson’s character was amusing and likeable as a secret agent who frequently botched up his jobs with the “help” of his inferior spy gadgets, but Kelly Robinson (Eddie Murphy) came across as rather crude to me, though my guess is that it’s the way his character is meant to be.
The movie is fast-paced and kind of action-packed. However, the show is light-hearted and doesn’t require you to think and feel much, except maybe, to laugh at it. So depending on the reasons (and the mood) as to why you watch the show, it can be a good, entertaining movie or a lousy, sub-standard movie to you. The movie also has some romance thrown in, but this being a light-hearted show, don’t expect serious heartaches and emotional scenes.
In my humble opinion, I Spy is a refreshing change from serious spy movies, so if you’re looking forward to relax after a day of stress, or just to laugh at something, go ahead and give this a try. Not a “real” spy movie, but I give it five for a highly entertaining and comical plot. Not to forget, the dashing (IMO!!!) Owen Wilson. ^_~

Summary: Terrible!!
Review: This movie is so terrible that it's not even funny! I couldn't even watch more than a half hour of this garbage before falling asleep even when loaded with caffeine. That's just an example of how bad "I Spy" is. Spend your time on something else. This is just a waste of time and resources.

Summary: Funny, But Forgettable
Review: Alex Scott (Owen Wilson) is a secret agent who really, really wants to be a special agent. The only problem is, he makes lots of mistakes and isn't exactly what you would call James Bond material. His current mission is to recover a high-tech jet that can camouflage itself so that it appears invisible. The only problem is, Alex has no idea where the plane is. Well, he knows that it is in Europe and that Arnold Gundars (Malcolm McDowell) is getting ready to sell it to the highest bidder. In order to get into Gundars' home and find the jet, Alex has to go undercover - as a flunky of the famous boxer Kelly Robinson (Eddie Murphy).Kelly Robinson has only agreed to let Alex tag along because the president himself called and personally asked him for this favor. He certainly doesn't want a white boy with no skills hanging around, but Kelly is willing to give it a go if Alex doesn't get in the way. Unfortunately, Alex has a skill for getting in Kelly's way and, before he knows it, Kelly Robinson is off on a wild ride of madcap escapes, zany stunts, high-tech gadgets, unrequited love, and intrigue while he and Alex hunt to find the jet before is it turned into a weapon against the United States. But who can they trust....? I thought that this was a pretty funny movie, but there is nothing particularly memorable or fabulous about it. Owen Wilson is pretty hilarious at times, though, especially when he is using his "top secret" gadgets that don't even begin to compare with Carlos' (Gary Cole), the top special agent in the country. Eddie Murphy had his funny moments, too, but I find that his humor is more crass and just obvious. The story was pretty predictable, but the movie had some cool stunts and was fast paced. This is a good rental that most of the family will enjoy.

Summary: It was fun
Review: I sat down with absolutely no expectations of this movie. It was far fetched and outlandish, but I took it with a grain of salt. The way it was meant to be taken. For parents: there were a few sexual references and a lot of violence (it is a spy movie). Do not get this movie if you are looking for a serious spy movie, only if you want a fun movie with a few on liners and some slapstick chase scenes. There are better movies out there, but there are alot worse as well.
